The first batch of PlayStation 3 the Best budget titles is scheduled to hit Japan on March 19 with Resistance, FolksSoul, Gundam Target in Sight, and Ridge Racer 7 all dropping down to 2,800 yen in exchange for some unsightly yellow packaging.

But before that, Ubisoft has gone about announcing a second round of titles. Well, a second round consisting of just one title, that is. Rainbow Six Vegas will join the PlayStation 3 the Best lineup on April 24, also at 2,800 yen.

In addition to the Rainbow Six re-release, Sony announced today the Best Smile Campaign. Japan-based gamers who purchase one of the five titles between 3/19 and 5/24 will be able to send in a post card to qualify for some nifty prizes, including a CyberShot DSC-T300 (given to 2), a Dual Shock 3 (given to 10), and a BD Remote Control (given to 100).

The name for the campaign appears to come from the fact that the DSC-T300 is one of those cameras that can detect when photo subjects are smiling.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma was originally announced as a March 19 PlayStation 3 the Best release but has since been delayed to an unspecified date.
